This Knife-Hand Strike Broke Through the Genius's Absolute Defense

Wu Chiwu on his hand, watching Neji was about to burst into flames of anger.

There was complete stillness in those Azure eyes.

The mere mention of the word "fate" makes them furious; they must have been hit where it hurt.

He's upset about a fate that was sealed from the moment he was born.

He might say he has to accept his fate, but his actions never betray him.

In his view, this ridiculous rule of the Branch Family the Main Family into branches was fundamentally untenable.

The secret technique of the Caged Bird Seal was even more absurd.

Forcibly stamping a living person with the mark of a puppet, anyone would jump up in anger.

Only a bunch of rotten old oranges could come up with such a terrible idea.

This is even more annoying than those warmongers from the Uchiha.

At least they're not afraid of taking on trouble; at most, they just want to stir up trouble.

After this demonstration, even the warmongers seemed much more agreeable.

Wu Chiwu shook his head, pulling his wandering thoughts back.

"You think you can just make me accept my fate? Not so easy," he said casually.

Wu Chiwu didn't use any Body Flicker Technique to dodge.

This level of attack isn't worth using that thing for.

He used only the most basic Taijutsu.

But every single one of them was incredibly accurate and frighteningly swift, just like the demonstrations printed in books.

Neji Hyuga swung his fists and feet, he always managed to find a tiny opening to dodge them.

It didn't take any extra effort, and not a second was wasted.

He still looked relaxed and carefree, not at all like someone who was in a fight.

As the exchange of blows continued, Neji also began to realize that something was amiss.

The light in his eyes grew increasingly dim.

what the hell?

Within my Eight Trigrams Formation, I couldn't even touch a single hem of his clothing?

On what grounds?

Neji activated his Byakugan to Wu Chiwu's Chakra.

The movement and flow of Chakra were as ordinary as could be, yet it was precisely this ordinariness that made Neji's pupils shrink sharply.

How could this be?

The Chakra didn't even ripple in the slightest?

The Chakra state a person has when resting is completely different from the Chakra state during battle.

Once they start fighting, their Chakra becomes as fluid as boiling water, much more so than usual.

But right now, Wu Chiwu's Chakra levels are like those of an ordinary ninja taking a nap.

Could it be that the fight just now didn't even qualify him to move his Chakra?

Was he not serious from beginning to end?

That's impossible.

A bead of cold sweat silently trickled down Neji's forehead, then his gaze hardened again.

No matter what kind of strange thing this ninja is hiding, he's going to take him down today.

To prove that you are the one in the right.

As one of Konoha's top geniuses, Neji has a talent for fighting, but his mind is also unmatched.

He possessed an extraordinary composure and arrogance.

Across from him Wu Chiwu watched him turn over in his thoughts, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

The little rascal has a decent temperament.

However, he did keep Naruto's promise.

We need to teach Neji Hyuga a lesson about what it means to have genuine human kindness.

I'm sorry then.

A wicked smile crept across Wu Chiwu's lips.

Back in the preliminaries, Naruto had already seen Neji go all out, beating Hinata Hyuga down time and time again.

The outcome was already clear, yet he remained ruthless.

What's even worse is the words he uttered; they were simply unbearable to hear.

Naruto bribed Neji, who happened to be in the same group as him, with seven days' worth of three-colored dumplings.

Wu Chiwu, carrying everyone's hopes, very considerately took on the job.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

In the blink of an eye, countless Shuriken came from all sorts of tricky and strange nooks and crannies, heading straight for Neji Hyuga's head.

"Heh."

Neji snorted coldly.

Such tricks won't work on him.

Although his Byakugan eyes do leave a blind spot, that doesn't mean anyone can easily touch him.

"Eight Trigrams Palms: Heavenly Spin!"

In the blink of an eye, Neji unleashed a massive amount of Chakra from all his Chakra points.

He used this Chakra to deflect all the Shuriken.

Then his body began to spin like a top.

In the blink of an eye, all the Shuriken were deflected.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Shuriken fell to the ground with a series of cracking sounds.

In the stands.

"It's Rotation." He kept repeating this to himself while staring at the arena Tenten.

"Indeed, Chakra released from Chakra points is particularly difficult to control."

Even Jonin can only use Chakra released from their hands and feet at most.

"But Neji mastered Gentle Fist to its peak, allowing him to release Chakra from his entire body."

"Moreover, the force of that outward push alone is enough to completely block the attack on the body."

"In other words, that's another absolute defense that can Gaara's sand-like shell."

Shikamaru, who had been listening to Tenten's endless ramblings, stared at Neji in the arena with a look of astonishment.

"Is this really that strange?" he muttered to himself.

But he still felt that the white-haired ninja wouldn't easily give up this match.

He noticed that Wu Chiwu's every move and attack was precisely timed to minimize energy consumption.

Using the same attack patterns, he simply expended far less effort than others.

What's even more amazing is that, despite Neji's relentless and fierce attacks, he was able to maintain his accuracy throughout.

The tone of the entire fight was still firmly in his own hands.

This is really creepy.

Shikamaru felt that this kind of person couldn't possibly fall so easily.

On the field.

Wu Chiwu's Azure eyes scrutinized Neji.

What a beautiful defense!

The Chakra within him completely protected his entire body.

Engaging in close combat with Neji Hyuga would indeed be a major problem.

Using Ninjutsu or switching to a different fighting style would likely save a lot of trouble.

But doing it that way would be boring.

Wu Chiwu rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought, a garish smile creeping onto his lips.

He refocused his attention and returned to the current battle situation.

Wu Chiwu's body suddenly shot out, heading straight for Neji Hyuga was not far away.

At the same time, he swung his right palm up and chopped down.

Neji paused for a moment, staring strangely at Wu Chiwu was rushing towards him.

Doesn't he realize that this kind of attack can't hurt him at all?

They were avoiding me before, so why have they changed their minds now?

Many questions rolled through his mind, but he didn't have time to ponder them.

This is also a good opportunity for him.

Neji Hyuga ignored the hand blade that was about to fall on his head.

Rotation will deflect all obstacles for him.

What he needs to do now is to grab this white-haired guy.

Wu Chiwu was too fast; hitting him was practically impossible.

The only thing to do right now is to keep them under control.

He had to seize this opportunity.

Once you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance.

Neji Hyuga's lips curled up slightly.

On the other side, Wu Chiwu also saw through Neji's plan very clearly.

Is this a plan to Rotation hard hit from him, then seize the opportunity to subdue him?

Wu Chiwu figured out Neji Hyuga's plan in the blink of an eye.

That works too.

A faint smile played in his eyes.

Neji's move happened exactly what he wanted.

"Bang!"

Wu Chiwu his head and deftly dodged Neji Hyuga's counter-grab.

During a lull in the fighting, Wu Chiwu transformed his right palm into a blade, striking Neji Hyuga squarely in front of him.

"Tsk." Neji clutched his right arm, which had been slashed, and took several steps back to create distance.

He looked up at Wu Chiwu, a look of horror flashing across his face.

What's this?

How did he get hit like that?

He had clearly pulled through Rotation.

Besides...

Neji Hyuga lowered his head and stared at his right arm.

His eyes were filled with confusion and shock.

The Chakra in his right arm was blocked.

What exactly is the approach?

Why were Wu Chiwu's attacks so effective against him?

Could it be that he just used acupressure?

If so, where did he learn it?
